Well I am usually pretty quiet on forums, but I thought I would formally introduce myself. I bought Michael DeSalvo's 1989 Mirage turbo (
http://www.4g61t.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=33474) a couple of years ago and drove it from Northern California to North Carolina, which makes me the second owner. I've had some contact with a couple of you guys and I read stuff here often. I also have a Galant VR-4 with a 2.3 engine swap and an FP Green (which needs a tune). My previous screen name was GVR-4, but I forgot my password and which email I used to register under that name, so now I'm GVR-4 reprise.
Right now the Mirage has had the 1.6 pulled and I will slowly prepare the original 2.0 shortblock from the Galant to drop in. The 1.6 started leaking oil pretty badly (even for a DSM) and I opted to just build up the 2.0 on an engine stand rather than track down all the places the 1.6 was leaking from in the engine bay.
I've got specific plans for both cars with the Galant serving as my daily driver and the Mirage as my project car. Ultimately I plan on selling the Galant and replacing it with a Volvo V70R, but keeping the Mirage for my hobby.
